About FOX RENT A CAR:8.7/10
The push for additional insurance and signing blindly on an electronic keypad multiple times was worrisome. Charging of a deposit to my credit card and then refunding later seemed odd and also caused some worry as to whether it would be a hassle to get my deposit back. The deposit has been refunded, so all is well. The car had some stains on the interior that we didn't notice since one of the rear seats was flipped down when picked up. We successfully cleaned the spots once we arrived at our hotel (seemed like gum and maybe white powder or deodorant), so we wouldn't have to worry about getting charged for stains that weren't ours. We liked the vehicle and getting to pick from a row of cars: we chose the Mitsubishi Outlander mostly due to its small size, light exterior color (silver), low mileage on odometer, and good MPG.
The staff at the Fox rental location in Los Angeles were extremely rude. First, they tried to sell us insurance, but we said we had already bought it on Zuzuche and didn't need it. They claimed that insurance bought on Zuzuche is invalid and not applicable in the U.S. When we insisted on not buying it, they got very unhappy and said that the Jeep SUV we rented was too poor in performance to drive to Salt Lake City, and pressured us to pay extra to upgrade to a Lincoln SUV. We insisted on keeping the Jeep we had originally booked. Then, they told us the Jeep we reserved was not available and offered us a Hyundai or Mazda of the same class. Due to time constraints, we had no choice but to accept. However, when I went to pick up the car, I found there were Jeeps available. It was clear they didn't give us the reserved Jeep because we didn't buy their insurance or pay extra to upgrade. Upon returning to Beijing, I discovered they had not only charged the $150 deposit directly as an expense along with the rental fee without pre-authorization, but they also overcharged by $10. When I contacted Zuzuche, they kept saying they would inquire with the car rental company and asked me to be patient. It's been 10 days with no progress. Again, I contacted Zuzuche customer service, and they told me to wait 4-8 weeks, and refused to say anything more! This whole car rental process, including the after-sales service from Zuzuche after returning to Beijing, has left me extremely disappointed. I promise I will never choose you again, and I will also tell everyone I know who needs to rent a car to never choose Zuzuche!

Waited to long for shuttle to pick me up, waited to long inside FOX to get vehicle, vehicle was dirty. Waited to long for shuttle to pick me up and bring me back to airport. Just terrible. !!
FOX RENT A CAR - at counter experience was poor. The person didn't fully explain the fuel fill-up with them properly but instead decided to charge for the entire tank when we only used 1/2 the tank.
